    Body of evidence; single or multiple sets

    Stretching does not prevent injury, it just makes you more flexible

    Shoulder Flexibility Issue

    I need a bit of advice on trying to sort out a shoulder flexibility issue. The best way to describe it I think is if I was to place a bar on my upper back for squats, I need to hold the bar right at the very end on the bar (next to the plates) as I am unable to bring my hands in any closer. So I...

    Improving Flexibility

    I've been told by a coach that my flexibility is basically shiiithouse, and that I need to improve on it. I've known this for years.
